It is believed that at tbe date cf the disco v. cry cf 'America, tha stock cf gold coin la Ea-rope amounted to a vmlaeof only $150,000,000.

It ie eetimsted that from tbe eeventh century to tbe fourteenth century tbe entire prodeo-tien cf all the mines in Europe did not exceed $500,000 per year. The opening of the mioes of, Russia, whioh began to yield gold in 1701, made sveonelderable addition to tbe amount, and in the latter part of the eighteenth cen tury the annual European production cf gold had reached the amount of $1,000,000. Tbe first large quantity cf gold from Amer. ica was hipped in 1502, and amounted to about $350,000. Tbe annual produce of gold ia America, from J492 to 1519, is listed by Humboldt to have been $250,000.

Certee made his expedition to Mexico ia 1519, and his invading army did not neglect the treasure of the country. The art of mining in Mexico had already made some progress, and after its conquest, the nehappy native were forced to slave to enrich the victors. Twenty years later the conquest of Peru, by Pisarro, added another and etill richer gold-producing country to the world. Here it was found that mining cperatioDs had been conducted with much greater akiil, end eoneeqnently better ouocees. Meanwhile Chili, in tbe hands of tbe Spaniards, and in those of the Portuguese were beginning to add their share to the gug of the world.

The annual npEjjF-ggy the earn Of 1600, the th Amounted to live is what It was in 1492. the seven teenth century the product cf the American mines gradually increased. In ireru ether mine were opened, and in Bucnoe Ayres new ones were discovered. The aaoant ot coined money at the end of the seventeenth century amounted to $1,900,000,000. During the next century the large mines cf Mexico had increased in productiveness, and fortune! were made by those fortunate enough to own eharee in them.

From 1700 to 1810 the product of American mines amounted to $4,000,000,000. But during the Jtwenty yeare immediately enceecdisg the year 1809, the American mines decreased greatly in prodactiveueaa. The po-Btlcal troubles in Mexico had brokou out in a civil war, and in coneeqnenee the minee were deeerted, their works destroyed, and the supply cf gold nt once fell to less than one-fifth the usual amount. The same influence operated in Peru with the earns reealta, and tbe whole prodoee of America during these twenty yeare wee very mneh reduced. Ia 1834, some gold was discovered in North Carolina, and, a few years after, some was found in Virginia Georgia and 8outh Carolina aleo yielded small amounts bnt these had Httle influence on the general rep-It, The consumption of gold in England per annum, for ether purposes than coinage, was estimated fifty years ego to amount to nearly $10,000,000.

The amoont used on the continent cf Europe was about $20,000,000. In 1835, the estimeted amount of coin in existence was $1,500,000,000. Th recent disooverie of gold in Calflor-nia in 1848, in Australia in 1851, at Praxer Blvcr.in British Columbia, in 1858, in Nova Bootia, cn the upper waters of the Tangier river, in 1860 have wonderfully added to the wealth cf the world. The total amount of gold coin and bullion in the world was estimated la 1847 to be $3,000,000,000. For the following ten years, the yield cf the mine cf CaliforBia amounted to about $506,000,000.

The total value of the gold discoveries of Australia from 1851 to 1859 amounted to $500,000,000. These mines are annually increasing fat value, and new discoveries are constantly making. In spit of the pre ant rarity of coin in circulation in this country may be sure that, thoujfh mneh has gone abroad, none has been loot, and there may possibly be a time in the future when gold and sliver will be once more need aa a circulating medium in Amer- From the New Tork World.

The Mobile Begiater records the following startling tragedy The annals of crime furnish but few esses, if any, more shocking than that of th horrible seeaaeination of the late Rev. James Pelan, a Presbyterian mini iter, residing in Chickasaw county, twelve mile west of Okalona, Miss. On Thursday, th 2d cf July.

Mr. Pelan was in bi field, about a mile from his house, superintending his servants in their work, when, bearing a noise some distance from where be was sitting undsr a shelter, which be took to be cattle breaking through the fence, he walked alone in th direction cf tbe note. When out of sight of the servants and of his stepson, who was in tb field, th assassin rose up from bis lurking place in the corner of the fenoe, where he was concealed in th tall weeds, with a double-barreled gun in hia hand, and presenting it, bureted a cap, whereupon Mr. Pelan turned quickly and attempted to fly, when the assassin fired the other barrel, planting eleven buckshot in his back, just below tb loft thoulder blade. Seven of these bote passed through the body, penetrating the left lung come of them passing very near his heart.

Mr. Pelan fled for some time, when he sunk down, supposing himself to be in, a dying condition. Be told his stepson and two neighbors, who soon came to hie assistance, who the aassaain was. Be was carried horn in a vary critical condition with careful nursing and skillful surgical treatment, however, it became apparent that he waa likely to recover, when the second more horrible act of the tragedy transpired. On Tuesday evening, between sun-down and dark, on th 21st of July, three armed men, disguised as soldiers, rods np te the gate and reqsested to eee the gentleman of the house.

The little boy, Mr. Pelan'o etep-son, told them that hie father was sick and could not come out. Just at that moment the sapper hell rang.

They accordingly asked for sapper and immediately got down, hitched their horses and walked up, soma forty yards, to tb bouse. Mr.

Pelan, who was not yet able to leave hi room, waa at that time sUtraer up by a table eating something that bis wife had prepared for bim.

Whereupon tbe one in advance eked bim, "What ia your nam?" He answered, "Pelan." "Pelan," re ponded the man.

Then leveling bie gun and stepping forward, be said "Mr. Pelan, sir, this is the supper wc want and instantly fired, shooting him through the heart the muzzle of the gun being so clos that bis clothes were set on The assassin then immediately turned and fled, running down the walk to the gate, where their horse were hitched two of them mounting immediately, while tbe third could not unhitch hi boree, the rein being tangled or fastened eo that be could not get them loose, and was at last under the necessity cf cutting them with hia knife, ler-ing part' behind.

For the loses Flcef aae r- The ETVere and Bsrsa LstUUea. wsweswai THE KTWArkXMKf'X: The Atchafalaya, whose nam in th Indian dialect means lost belongs exclusively to this Stat. Leaving tb Mississippi near th' northern end of Louisiana, it rune eeath: ward to Lak Chctimachaa, through which it pas, aad from whicfaIa a greatly enlarged stream, It mptia into Atchafalaya Bay. orcing to uaroy, in wnoi iengtSot the Atchafalaya, by a eompsxativ.ca oa, hundred and thirty -tiBjniu ud along stream oueJana nd ninety three mile.

geographers of th present Jt it whole coarse 1 calculated te be from "two hundred and, fifty to two hundred and fxty milee. In high water, eteam boats navi gate it from the Gulf to its head. Ia 1850 iu banks were protected from overflow by thirty mile of artificial levee. There are strong reasons for belieViog that the Atchafalaya waa at on tims tb chief bed of Bed River. Tbia outlet of th great Missiseipp waters th parish of AvoylIs, 8t.

Landry, Point Coopee, St. Martin, Iberville, St. Mary, Assumption aad Terrebonne. Income of these parisbss, tbe lands on its banks are the most fertile in th world. 8om of these lauds are well cultivated and hav a Isrg population.

The Atchafalaya, eaya th late A. D. Wool-d ridge, should be regarded as the great natural drain of Southern Louisiana. Until within a short time past, the stream was so obstructed by rafts and ether impediment, that very little water fonnd its way by its ehannel to the gulf. Tbe improvements whieb hav been made in this stream have been made simply with a view to its navigation.

By having ail its ob-trnctiona fully removed, by working it with a visw of making it an available drain, it can readily be made to discharge at least twice as much ws" a at present. The fa Uie lower part of this river is very gre, ad the water can be discharged without injury to any one. Give iu waters, says Paul O. Bebert, sufficient egress giv it a free and open navigation, and you reclaim hundred of thousands of acre of fertile lands, extend our water communication three hundred mile, and increase incalculably th agricultural product and wealth of that section of the State. must also bear in mind the benefit resulting to Lower Louisiana from the greater facilities of egress afforded to the surplus waters of th Mississippi rivMy jAceording to a report made to the Legislator a fw ysars ago, from which tak tTY following extracts The quantity of water discharged through this river is now mneh toss than it was a few years back.

Mr. Franeis V. Bonis states that before the cut-off was made, an immense quantity of water from th Mississippi found it way through th Atchafalaya, and from tuatcircumetanee, generally in ordinary water, tb borders of that nver, near it mouth, wr overflowed, and now, at th piesent stage (Feb. 1850,) the planters there are abl to cultivate their soil without inconvenience. And W.

B. Robertson, in his eommunioa-tion, says that while in 1844 portions of the Atchafalaya ward overflowed more than one foot, sine th Bacoourcl cut-off has, been made the waterof 1849 was one foot higher in Wss Baton Bongn th Mississippi river than it was in 1847, while on the Atchafalaya the water was not aa high by on foot a it was in 1844 showing a difference of two feet water in th Atchafalaya sine th making of th Baccouroi cut-off. Th Trseent state of th bottom cf th Atchafalaya ds such a to prsvs that it is rap' idly filling up. The soft mud at the bottom, into Which a lead will sink several feet, Is indicative of th aloggishnsss of th current which flow through it. find the following extract in the American Annual Cyclopaedia for the year 1841 There: are four routes by whieh New Or leans can be approached.

Th Atchafalaya route affords at th barrel stakee only twelve feet water, but above that any depth needed for thirty or forty miles. Through tt and the Plaqusmine vessels of that draught can pass Into th Mississippi at any tim fromth 1st of December to th 1st of June, when th river ufulL The Tyranny of Spoiled Babies.
